The Banning Pilots will be playing at home against the Santee Falcons at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
Last Friday, Banning kept a clean sheet against Narbonne. They skirted past the Gauchos 1-0. Even though Banning was hit with a red card (from Juan Pablo Hernandez), the team's aggressive strategy still got them the 'W'.
Banning's one-goal win came courtesy of
Alejandro Oropeza, who's now up to 14 this season.
Meanwhile, for the first time since back in January, Santee was forced to settle for a draw last Wednesday. Neither they nor West Adams could gain the upper hand so the two teams had to settle for a 3-3 draw.
Santee used a slightly different lineup for their bout with West Adams. And. Riquelme Gomez-Comayagua made the most of the opportunity, putting up an assist. A few more games like that and he might be seeing even more time going forward.
Banning has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won five of their last six matchups, which provided a nice bump to their 10-4-3 record this season. With that draw, Santee's record moves to 10-5-2.
Banning took their victory against Santee when the teams last played back in December of 2021 by a conclusive 3-0. Does Banning have another victory up their sleeve, or will Santee turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
